Grammy Award winners announced
Babyface, Fugees head list of multiple category triumphs
NEW YORK—From the Beatles to Beck, 10 different artists took home multiple Grammys yesterday in a ceremony that celebrated music's diversity. Even the first lady took home a Grammy.
Multiple award winners included the Beatles, the Fugees, Beck, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, LeAnn Rimes, Toni Braxton and Vince Gill.
In a year of no clear trends, it was one song that had proven dominant. The composition Change the World led to Grammy awards for singer Clapton, the song's writers and producer Babyface.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying she was amazed to win for her recording of her book on child rearing, It Takes a Village, picked up the prize during the pre-telectacle presentation ceremony at Madison Square Garden before heading back to Washington for a state dinner.
"I was very surprised because I didn't even know that the Grammys were given to tone deaf people like me," said Clinton, recalling an off-key duet she recently performed on The Rosie O'Donnell Show.
Music's top awards ceremony was moved to the Garden this year, and for the first time, members of the public were admitted to see the televised portion of the 39th annual show.
With three awards yesterday, the Beatles nearly doubled their lifetime haul of Grammys. They won for best pop performance by a duo or group for Free As a Bird, the song manufactured by the three surviving members from a tape left behind by the late John Lennon.
Country singer LeAnn Rimes, with a dress to match her hit song, Blue, won the award for best new artist. The teen singing sensation also won for best female country vocal performance.
They also won two video awards for the same song and their anthology project. During their peak in the 1960s, the Beatles won a total of only four Grammys.
*Blue* was also honored as the best country song, an award that went to writer Bill Mack.
Babyface, who earned a record-tying 12 Grammy nominations, won the songwriter's award for best rhythm and blues composition, Exhale (Shoop Shoop), sung by Whitney Houston. He also was honored as producer of the year.
"I'm going to go out to dinner, but I guess that's about all I can do," she said. "I'm going to party somehow."
Rimes, 14, she said she was proud to be the first country singer to win best new artist. She wasn't sure how she was going to celebrate.
Beck provided a changing of the guard in rock music, beating out veterans Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Clapton and John Hiatt for an award for his surrealistic Where It's At. He also won for best alternative music performance.
Braxton, admitting she was surprised to beat out Celine Dion, won best female pop performance and best female rhythm and blues performance for two different songs: "Umbreak My Heart and You're Makin' Me High."
Crow won for best rock album and best female rock performance for If I Makes You Happy. The Fugees, who performed with late reggae star Bob Marley's back-up band, took home two awards. Gill won for best country collaboration and best male country vocal performance.
Tracy Chapman received a Grammy for best rock song for her plea to a reluctant lover, Give Me One Reason. The song was also nominated for record and song of the year.
LL Cool J was ecstatic upon finding out he won an award for best rap solo performance.
"My head was exploding over there because I didn't want to have to smile if someone else won," he said.
Although Mrs. Clinton took home an award, another moonlight celebrity was out of luck. Shaquille O'Neal was part of a group nominated for best rhythm and blues performance, but he lost out to the Fugees.
Veteran folk artist Pete Seeker received a standing ovation when he won an award for best traditional folk album.
Cissy Houston, mother of pop star Whitney Houston, went home a Grammy winner for the first time for her gospel performance.
Winners were chosen by the 9,000 voting members of the National Academy of Recordings Arts & Sciences, a group of music business professionals.

Music fans hyped by new film
By Ashlee Roll Kansan staff writer
Stop washing your hair. Get out your flannel shirts, ripped jeans and start moshing. You can revisit the grunge phenomenon of the early '90s for two hours in a film, aptly named *Hype!*
The film will is a part of the Guess? Independent Film Tour and will be showing in Woodruff Auditorium, tonight at 10 and midnight.
Hype! chronicles the transformation of Seattle from a town with an almost nonexistent scene to the musical mecca of the '90s.
"Seattle was to music what Bethlehem is to Christianity," says one woman in the film.
Some of Seattle's most renowned bands, including Screaming Trees, Soundgarden and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, are the subjects of many interviews.
the director, Doug Pray, has successfully captured the essence of the grunge movement, and the thoughts from the artists involved.
REVIEW
Other Seattle bands that pop up in the film are The Melvins.
Mudhoney and the Supersuckers.
Although the term "Rockumentary" has been dulled by MTV, this film is interesting and demands attention with its well placed concert footage.
But what is most impressive about this film is the cavalcade of live performances.
Hupel boasts the first live performance of Nirvana's hit, Smells Like Teen Spirit., as well as stellar performances by Alice in Chains, the Gits and Seaweed.
Pray also interviews the millionaires behind the mega-hip record label Sub Pop, Jonathan Ponman and Bruce Pavitt. Although many in the film are quick to criticize Ponman and Pavitt for contributing to the overexposure of the Seattle scene, the entrepreneurs admit that they have made a huge profit from the grunge explosion.
Hapel! compiles clips from the early '90s, showing how big the grunge fad actually was. The Seattle influence was found everywhere from Jeopardy!
And, according to the film, so did everyone else.
to the fashion runways.
During this time, worn-looking jackets were being sold as high fashion for $1,250, and Ron Reagan Jr., held a 'grunge show' from Seattle.
One former employee from Sub Pop records described the mass hysteria surrounding the grunge scene.
"Right now, Seattle is a quarter to six on Christmas Eve, at a shopping mall when it's too crazy and loaded with sub-moronic idiots buying anything they can get their hands on," the employee said.
The film shows the perspective of the artists who were involved in the explosion. But at the same time, the viewer almost feels bad for even having participated in the hysteria.
The viewer is left with memories of great music and whiny musicians. The movie depicts a lot of rich celebrities complaining about their lot in life.
"The Seattle scene became a commodity," said Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.
However, the film shows how the entire country became swept away with grunge madness, and the phenomenon looked a lot like the Macarena.
NEW YORK — Love was in—and on — the air when James Brown popped the question to Rolonda Watts during a taping of her *Rolonda* talk show.
Watts didn't give Brown an answer after his surprise proposal Tuesday.
"Darling, we've been trying to keep this thing quiet, but I think it's time we let people know. ... You know I'm crazy about you, so how about tying the knot?" Brown told Watts, according to show representative Daniella Cracknell.
James Brown proposes on air
Watts responded: "We're going to continue this discussion on the phone later, James."
Cracknell said Watts had maintained that the 68-year-old Brown was an uncle figure. The two met when Brown appeared on Rolonda last month.
Last year, Brown's wife, Adrienne Lois Brown, died after taking a combination of prescription and illegal drugs.
